Quandary: When we go to the spa, my friends all parade around naked and hop into the Jacuzzi in their birthday suits. This makes me totally uncomfortable as I'm more modest and always wear my swimsuit. What's spa protocol for this?

Solution: Unfortunately there's not really a strict "spa protocol" to hide behind and, truth be told, it's totally normal for people to walk around in the buff in that type of locker room setting.

Post thinks that it'd be a whole lot easier to plan pamper-fests with pals who are more conservative. "Different friends have different modesty levels," she reasons. "Is it really worth it to go to the spa with these naked people and be uncomfortable? That defeats the whole purpose of a relaxing day!"

And, if you don't have a primmer group to hang with, choose a spa that has a Jacuzzi in a more public setting. That way your friends will be forced to cover up!

Next: How do I know if I'm wearing too much makeup?

@ JustIris30...just to let you know that your friend is horribly wrong,one of the first and essential things to know about applying any perfume is NEVER to rub the place where the perfume was spritzed on! Never ever because it destroys the molecules of the perfume itself and it will not be the same smell nor intensity it should and could be! That is a complete no-no! Inform yourself and your friend!
